Paul Faro Automotive in Salinas

Peter is very knowledgeable, communicative, and efficient!

I had a friend recommend Paul Faro automotive, and I thank him immensely. Peter was very honest. I thought I had a major problem. It turned out to be a minor one, and his service is impeccable. Very professionally run business. If I ever have a need for work on my diesel engine, I will only take it to Paul Faro Automotive from now on.

Very fair priced and always available! I am in and out very quickly.

Peter is very knowledgeable and conscience. Recently brought my 2018 Nissan Versa in for a "new car" check up. He gave it a thorough look over, telling me what was good and what needed repair. Great job! This poor Versa had less than 13k miles (bought used), but sure needed a bit of help! After the oil change, repairing the passenger side door lock and scrubbing off some rust on the oil pan from something hitting it, I have a great car! Thanks, Peter!

I did not have a good experience with the shop. I paid pete over $4500.00 in repairs. Pete is a very knowledgable mechanic and knows a great deal about ford motors. He installed a tuner for my truck but did not install it right. The wire was never properly grounded. He installed new shocks that belonged to a jeep wrangler and told me a buddy uses them and they would work. My truck is a 1997 ford f350 one ton powerstroke. Shocks were not working and clearly not meant for the truck. I have to replace them already and they were also installed wrong and ended up bent. Pete replaced one of my fuel tanks and used the wrong size fitting so its nearly impossible to fill it up. He said he fixed a fuel leak but he didnt. My truck is still leaking fuel. I had to remind him multuple times to make sure he fixed everything we agreed on while working on my truck. He kept wanting to hand back unfinished product. Its cost me more money fixing his work than its worth. Pete is a very knowledgable guy when it comes to ford motors but i would not trust the shop with any other part of a vehicle. I wouldn't recommend the shop.

Took my F350 7.3 Diesel here after being referred by Riffraff Diesel up in Oregon. Peter is a super friendly guy and his knowledge was amazing. I have a bit of a mystery truck since I bought it from a nother person who liked to modify it. Peter was able to identify what I had and then gave me a to do list of things I needed to take care of. I found his pricing to be great and the work was done within schedule. I will be taking my truck here for future work.

A great repair shop.The team is knowledgeable and not just a parts replacer.

Great trust worthy service, will be coming back whenever engine lights or other issues come up.
